#LCPII

Ruger has announced the introduction of their latest offering to the concealed carry community – the LCP MAX. The LCP MAX is a slight departure from the swarm of 9mm micro-compact pistols we’ve seen start to flood the market and I think there are a lot of people who would be happy to pick up this improved .380 model. The new LCP MAX takes the same basic design and size as the LCP II and adds in a few improvements as well as an increase in magazine capacity.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of  The Rimfire Report. In this ongoing series we discover, review, and discuss anything and everything surrounding the rimfire firearm world. This week we’ll be taking a look at the top 3 best 22LR pocket CCW pistols.

I remember the first time I saw a Ruger LCP in person.  It was at Gunsite’s pro shop in the spring of 2008. Better built than the P-3AT, it won me over and became part of my regular hot weather carry rotation.  I have fired a heck of a lot of rounds out of that Ruger (approximately 3k) and it still works well.  Though it’s been a great little pistol for pocket or holstered carry while in running or workout clothes, I always thought there were two areas for improvement:  The trigger and the sights.

Ruger has always been known for making limited run and special edition offerings of their staple firearm models. Whether it is a Davidson’s Exclusive, a TALO Special Run Make-Up or an original offering that Ruger produces in house, they definitely like to try different things from time to time. In line with that train of thought, they once again have a new camo pattern to get in the festive spirit of the fall and Halloween seasons. You can now buy a LCP, LCP II and SR22 coated in a Harvest Moon or Toxic camouflage pattern.

It wasn’t all that long ago that Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced a sequel to its popular .380 pocket gun. The LCP II offered a number of changes from the original including a single action trigger, last round lock back and a new grip texture. I’ve tested both guns and while each has its place, I can understand why a lot of people prefer the LCP II.

This is not a political post of any sort: it’s always interesting to study arms and ammunition sales just ahead of any United States presidential election.

DeSantis has been designing and manufacturing quality holsters since 1972. Of course, four decades ago the company consisted of founder Gene DeSantis making holsters one by one at his kitchen table; safe to say they’ve come a long way since then. One thing that has never changed is their dedication to quality and usability. Today they also work to provide a variety of carry options for a stunning number of firearms, and the latest gun to enter into their holster lineup is the new Ruger LCP II.

Black Arch Holsters (formerly SHTF Gear LLC), known for their concealed carry offerings, has announced the release of their latest holster for the new Ruger LCP II sub-compact handgun. The hew holster is from their ACE-1 family, Generation 2. The new holster is designed for inside the waistband carry.

Ruger recently announced their new LCP II which has caused significant interest among .380 ACP fans. The original LCP has been a longtime top-seller of Ruger’s and the updated, modern LCP II will likely match its predecessor (if not outdo it). Of course, new pistols require new accessories which is why Viridian has now unveiled their LCP II-compatible lasers and lights.

Ruger is upping the ante on their best-selling, carry pistol. The Ruger LCP II looks to silence all the critics with multiple improvements shooters have been requesting for quite some time.
